Rebirth of Wendong Xiaoji

Chapter 74 Southbound

Chen Wendong followed the caravan all the way to the south, walking at sunrise and resting at sunset. Although the road was a bit rushed, it was not as comfortable as traveling alone, but fortunately, he didn't have to worry about trivial matters, and he could eat and live, which was a good deal. Small and cheap.

The people in the caravan took good care of them, especially the three children, and they never stopped eating snacks along the way.When encountering large towns, caravans would stop to collect medicinal materials. At this time, Chen Wendong would take the three children to wander around.Take a look at the local folk customs, taste the local snacks, and travel freely.

Not only the children enjoyed it, but Chen Wendong also enjoyed it very much. Since he came to this world, he has never been as relaxed as he is now.First he escaped from the famine, then he became Zhou Yanhuan's slave, and later he entered the military camp, and he was even less free.Speaking of which, these years they have only lived in Huajiazhai for a few days, but at that time they could not go out casually, how could they appreciate such a scene.

Compared with this chaotic world, Zhou Yanhuan's sphere of influence is considered stable. There are few bandits here, and the people can still live in peace. However, after years of wars, the town is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and there is a trace of bleakness on both sides of the streets.

Chen Wendong and the three children were wearing coarse clothes and walking slowly on the bluestone road. Although they deliberately kept a low profile, they still stood out among the patched pedestrians.

Yaya stopped in front of two skinny beggars.

"Master, Miss, please do me a favor, give me a stutter! My child hasn't eaten for three days, so please pity us!"

"Master Xiucai, have pity on us!"

Chen Wendong patted Yaya's head and stuffed a dozen copper coins into her hand.

Yaya ran over and directly put the copper plate into the little beggar's broken bowl, "You and your mother go buy something to eat."

The beggar mother and son thanked each other, and immediately went to the restaurant with the copper coins.

At this moment, other beggars also surrounded him.

"Miss, you have pity on us too!"

"Miss, miss, I haven't eaten for several days."

The beggars got closer and closer, and one beggar reached out to grab Yaya's clothes.

Seeing this, Chen Wendong quickly hid with the children in his arms.He moved quickly, and left the encirclement far away before the beggars got close.The beggars froze for a moment, but did not continue to surround them.

These beggars looked pitiful, but they were obviously in the same group, and there were nine times out of ten that they had no good intentions around them. How could Chen Wendong let them succeed.If it weren't for his quick movements, he might be robbed by these beggars today.

Don't say that his heart is gloomy, in fact, this kind of thing happens often, people who are extremely hungry, how can they care about the king's law, not to mention robbery, even murder.Besides, his personal ability is limited, and it is impossible to give money to every beggar.In this situation, it is his kindness to give money, and he can't say anything if he doesn't give it to others, it depends on what the individual thinks.

Chen Wendong explained the pros and cons to the children while walking, but the children were a little unhappy because Chen Wendong didn't help the beggars, and didn't listen at all.

Chen Wendong shook his head secretly, some things are useless to just talk about, you have to see it with your own eyes and experience it yourself before you can remember it in your heart.It didn't take long for the children to see what Chen Wendong said.

It was a young man who had not experienced much in the world, and he knew that he was not a poor man just by his clothes.This unlucky boy was surrounded by a group of beggars when he was taking money for a beggar. In the end, not only the money bag was robbed, but even his coat was taken off.

The boy sat on the ground stupidly, obviously unable to accept the fact that he was robbed.A gust of cold wind blew by, and the little boy shivered. He tightened his shirt tightly, with tears in his eyes.

Chen Wendong couldn't see it, and walked over with the children, pulled the boy up, and stuffed a silver coin into his hand.

"When you go out, be careful in everything. Even if you want to do good things, you can't put yourself in it."

The young man thanked him tearfully, but was stopped by Chen Wendong, "The world is not peaceful now, so don't dress so carefully when you go out, go to a clothing store to buy a coarse cloth robe, and keep the rest of the money and go home." Chen Wendong patted On the boy's shoulders, he turned and left with the children.

When such a thing happened, the children suddenly became more depressed, Chen Wendong didn't say much, and let them realize it by themselves.Some things can only be impressed and grow more easily after personal experience.The so-called suffering in the world is sinister. If you don't experience it yourself, how can you understand it?

On this day, a group of people came to Shahe Town.

The surrounding area of ​​Shahe Town is mountainous and rich in herbs. People from the Ministry of Commerce will stay here for a while to collect herbs.In the years of war, any place rich in herbs would definitely not be peaceful. According to Chen Wendong's knowledge, there is a bandit's lair to the west of the town. Although it is not big, it is very famous.This gangster was deep in the mountain, and the leader of the bandit was very cunning. Zhou Yanhuan had not cleared it up several times, so Chen Wendong had some impression.

If Chen Wendong traveled by himself, he would definitely not come to Shahe Town, even if it was for his children, he would not take the risk.But now that he was traveling with the people from the Ministry of Commerce, he had no choice.

To be on the safe side, as soon as everyone arrived in Shahe Town, Chen Wendong took the children to live in the inn and strictly prohibited them from going out.Along the way, the children also gained some knowledge, so they didn't complain when Chen Wendong said that they were not allowed to go out.

Although everyone was extra careful, something happened that night.

"Stay here honestly, if you dare to run around, kill without mercy!"

"You guys, hand over the silver!"

"And you, give me the jade bracelet!"

The bandits have surrounded the entire inn and are looting from room to room.

There was chaos in the inn, there were constant cries and screams.

Chen Wendong woke up the children, put on their clothes, then quickly pulled out his dagger, pried open a green brick under the bed, put all the banknotes in it, and put the green brick back to its original place, leaving only a dozen pieces Silver and copper plates were placed outside.

As soon as he hid the banknotes, he heard the window slam, and a person jumped in from the window.Chen Wendong reacted very quickly, and before the man stood up, he rushed over with the dagger in his hand.

The visitor dodged to avoid the edge of the dagger, and said in a low voice, "General Chen, it's me!"

Chen Wendong put away the dagger and looked at the man, "Who are you?"

"I'm Hu Qi from the killing department. Elder Xue sent me to protect you and the young master. Don't worry, general, I will definitely protect you."

"Just you?" Chen Wendong put away the dagger and asked.

"There... there are still people outside." Hu Qi hesitated for a moment before replying.

Chen Wendong nodded, knowing what to do.

After a while, the gangsters searched Chen Wendong's room. When the footsteps approached, Hu Qi jumped up and hid on the beam.

As soon as Maomao was about to look up, he was slapped down by Chen Wendong. At this moment, there were loud noises, and the gangsters kicked in the door.

Chen Wendong pretended to be flustered, and hugged the three children in his arms, "Master...Master, if you have something to say, don't kill us."

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly hand over the money!"

Chen Wendong looked dumbfounded, and took out the money bag tremblingly.

The leading bandit snatched it up and weighed it in his hand, "Hey, that's all? Where are the rest of the money?"

"No...not anymore." Chen Wendong said in a trembling voice.

"Brother, this person is in the same group as those next door, and they must still have money!" A young man next to him interjected.

The bandit headed squinted at Chen Wendong, "Is that the gang that collects medicinal materials?"

"That's right, I saw the town they entered together with my own eyes." Xiao Luo promised.

The leader tossed the money bag and ordered: "Search for me!"

Several thieves immediately searched the room.Chen Wendong's two bundles fell directly on the ground, and the clothes in the bundles were thrown everywhere.Chen Wendong hugged the children and let them search randomly. Anyway, there was nothing valuable in the bag, except for the clothes and snacks for the children. His main belongings were hidden under the green bricks.

The gangsters didn't let anything go, they picked up all the quilts and mattresses, and in the end they didn't find anything of value, so a few gangsters turned their attention to Chen Wendong and his son.

"Look at this child's delicate skin and tender flesh. He doesn't look like a person without money. Be sensible and hand over the money!"

This is going to be searched!Chen Wendong's eyes narrowed imperceptibly, and then returned to normal.

Why didn't Elder Zhang respond?And let them search and toss in the inn?Although these gangsters looked fierce, they were definitely not comparable to the Ministry of Commerce in terms of strength, not to mention there were people from the Ministry of Killing following them secretly.

Chen Wendong changed his mind and made a rough guess.When several gangsters searched him, he did not resist. Although the three children were afraid, they did not make a sound.

Chen Wendong was satisfied in his heart, it seemed that it was worth the trip, the little guys would definitely not be so calm in the past.

In the end, Xiao Luo took off the jade pendants of the three children and cursed: "Damn, you look like a dog, why are there only such things!"

Maomao glared at that young man fiercely, and was about to go there immediately to fight for his life.Chen Wendong hugged the child in his arms and didn't let him mess around.This petulant temper is the same as Hua Hong's. He is also courageous enough, and he is born with a bandit spirit.In the past, he was the one who robbed others, but this time it was his turn to be robbed by others, obviously very angry.

The leader took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and commented: "This jade pendant is really good, and it is really worth a few taels of silver. Look at all of you, you are all young masters from which family? Since you don't bring any silver, then Let the family send it up the mountain!"

There was another young man next to him flatteringly said: "Brother is still thoughtful, and easily caught a few meat tickets."

"Yeah, yeah, just for this small appearance, it's worth a lot of money if you sell it in the hall."

The leader circled around Chen Wendong a few times, poked his chin with his hand, and said with a wretched face: "Well, let alone, this big one is quite pretty. Tsk tsk, those peach eyes are quite attractive, we big ones The village master must be rare. Brothers, take it back first and let the village master enjoy it, right?"

"Hahaha!!" There was laughter all around.

Chen Wendong almost exploded when he heard that, Nainai, dare to humiliate him like this, I am really impatient!If it wasn't for the fear of affecting Elder Zhang's plan, he would have killed these bastards now!

Based on what you said just now, these people are not good people. They must have done a lot of things that hurt nature and reason. How can we let them continue to do evil?Even if Elder Zhang doesn't act, he still has to get rid of these people.

Chen Wendong kept silent in his heart, waiting for their next move.

These people didn't take Chen Wendong and his son seriously at all, and let them go there without even tying them up, obviously not worried about them escaping.It has to be said that Chen Wendong's appearance is too deceptive, and most people have to regard him as a weak-legged scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken.

Chen Wendong sneered in his heart, and while they were searching other houses, he instructed the three children, and then winked at Hu Qi who was hiding in the dark, asking him to pick them up.

Hu Qi moved very quickly, taking advantage of the guard's stupefied effort, he rescued the children.

As soon as the child left, Chen Wendong's heart was completely relieved. Not to mention just a few young people, even in the bandit's nest, the killers could guarantee the safety of the child.Without worries about the future, he can also flex his muscles.

After searching the inn, the gangsters discovered that the children were missing.

The leader punched and kicked the guards, "Nainai, you can't even watch a few children, what can you do! Eat shit!"

The guards couldn't stop begging for mercy, "Brother, spare your life, brother, please spare your life, the little one doesn't dare."

After the boss finished venting, he turned his head to look at Chen Wendong, and said viciously: "You son of a bitch, if I didn't see that you are still useful, I will kill you now! Tie him up, so that he won't make trouble again!"

Chen Wendong was tied up and taken out. As soon as he left the inn, he happened to run into Elder Zhang and the others.Elder Zhang winked at Chen Wendong, tacit understanding with each other, and then followed the gangsters out of the town.

This group of gangsters ran very fast, even though they were carrying several large carts of medicinal materials, they still acted quickly.Chen Wendong and others pretended to be exhausted and couldn't keep up, and were dragged forward staggeringly.

"What a fucking waste, he's panting like this after a few steps." The minion who was holding Chen Wendong kicked him, cursing.

Chen Wendong pretended to be kicked, and secretly felt ruthless, "You son of a bitch, wait for grandpa!"I'll settle the accounts with you in a while! '

After walking more than a dozen miles outside the town, the group entered the mountain, and once they entered the forest, the gangsters were like ducks in water.They first hid the medicinal materials in a cave, and then took Chen Wendong and others to continue walking into the mountains.

Chen Wendong looked at the nearby terrain and thought to himself: "No wonder this gang of gangsters has been unable to be wiped out. It is really thanks to the steep and rugged mountains, coupled with the lush vegetation here, it is difficult to find traces of gangsters."Even if the bandits' nests were found, the army would have nothing to do with them if they went into the mountains and forests. '

They followed the bandits through the mountains and forests. After walking for half a day, they finally entered the bandit's den.
